I know there are 2 types. But how do you know the difference?
And one more thing. This should be a black star but she's so much darker than all the others.
Gold laced whyandotte. Bigger than the other, wider and taller, it's black is more of a grayish, has had a redish comb since about 7 weeks, friendliest of the birds and the skin flappy near the ears are big and red.
This is one of my black star pullets, she and one of her flock mates has this issue. I have given her a good look over and no wound, or even a bald spot that's noticeable. Is this a normal part of the young chicken molt? She has lost all of her tall tail feathers. I have also not noticed anyone...
The whyandotte on top of the run is the one who is suspicious. Bigger/taller, redder in the face more solid feathers on the wings. The one on the ground I'm positive is a lady. About 12 weeks old.
The rir is about 7 weeks old in that picture. Does she look like a rhode island red? Someone said...
Both should be pullets,but I have been noticing some differences for the last 5 weeks that make me wonder if I could have a roo. I'm good with a rooster. They are about 12 weeks old. If you need different angles or something i can do that after the rain passes. Thank you.
I'm probably over thinking this. But I sprouted Lentils for my girls, and now im wondering if i need to go and remove any unsprouted lentils. From what I have seen people just sprouted them and toss them out to the chickens.
So do I look through it toss any unsprouted in the trash?
